Mio Kisaragi (如月 未緒, Kisaragi Mio) is a character in the Tokimeki Memorial series.
Profile[]
Mio is a gentle and polite girl who has a weak body, and as such she's not good with sports. She always has her nose in a book, and her favorite author is Goethe. Her best friend is Saki Nijino.
She is also one of the only two characters in Tokimeki Memorial to feature an alternate ending. The primary difference between the endings is whether or not she chooses to switch to contacts, depending on what the player told her during her date event at the movie theater. After graduation, she plans to go to a first-rate university.

Motto! Tokimeki Memorial (Radio Drama)[]
Beware!! Spoilers ahead!
Mio's first appearence in the radio drama is in Episode 2, "Sports Festival". She accompanies Naoto Takami and Saki to watch a soccer match at the stadium as part of Saki's plan to scout Naoto to the Soccer Club. At the end of the episode, she faints in Naoto's arms due to her anemia.
She returnes in Episode 6, "Confession". Naoto, convinced Shiori doesn't like him, gives the wristwatch he received from her at the previous episode, "Christmas", to Mio. Unsure of what to do, Mio calls Yoshio Saotome, and later returns the wristwatch to Naoto. She watches Naoto's confession to Shiori with everyone else.
In Episode 9, "School Festival", Mio is rehearsing for the school play, Romeo and Julietta, that will be held at the school festival, but feels unsure about her acting. Yoshio finds her rehearsing under the Legendary Tree and walks home with her. Mio explains that while was rehearsing for the play, she also waiting to confess to the person she likes, but if he appeared she wouldn't have the courage to do so. Yoshio encourages her, and Mio invites him to watch her play.
Jun Ebisutani, revealed to be the person Mio had feelings for, accidentally interrupts her when she's rehearsing at the rooftop, and explains he was supposed to meet his girlfriend, Megumi Juuichiya, there. Disheartened, Mio wanders to Yoshio's class and gets startled by the decoration of the haunted house his class is making, but is saved by him. While walking home together, she discovers Yoshio started reading Romeo and Julietta, and confesses she joined the Drama Club to fix her withdrawn personality and be able to confess to the person she liked. Yoshio encourages her by reading Romeo's lines, and Mio reads Julietta's lines.
The following days, Yoshio helps Mio with her rehearsals, and in one of these occasions, she prepares a lunch for both of them. After the bell rings, Yoshio awkwardly invites her to come to the haunted house after the play. Later, Mio finds out the actor who was going to play Romeo broke his leg, and asks Yoshio to play the part instead. After the play, Mio searches for Yoshio, and, unable to find him, waits for him at the gymnasium. Yoshio quotes Romeo's lines and confesses to her, and the two become a couple.
She appears in the final episode, "Graduation" and, along with Saki, encourages Naoto to try and talk to Shiori in order to understand her feelings better. She later tells Yoshio that he has another chance to take the entrance exam for his third-rate university, but faints due to running, which makes Yoshio panic.
She briefly appears in the Monthly Tokimeki Memorial Drama CD episodes "Love Song For You" and "After the Graduation Ceremony". In "Love Song For You", Mio and Shiori watch Yoshio's and Naoto's performance as part of Miharu Tatebayashi's and Atsushi Kudou's band.
